Beye – Birmingham Biggest Game of Our Season

Habib Beye talked to Newcastle World TV yesterday, and after watching the video, we were impressed with both what Habib said, and his general sensible attitude at the club.

Habib Beye – we shouldn’t be in this position

This is what Habib told Newcastle World TV yesterday, in his French accent:

â€œWhen I joined Newcastle, I was very confident I could achieve success here,â€ â€œThis is very difficult for us but we have to stay together. It is a difficult moment for the club, the players, everyone. All of us have to do our best to make sure the club stays in the Premier League because now it is very tight. We are not where we want to be.â€

â€œThere are nine games left. They are nine cup finals. I came here wanting to play in a cup final and now I have nine of them! But not the kind I expected. None of us thought we would be where we are. It is very different but I still want to do my best for this club.â€

â€œI had a similar experience to this one when I was at Strasbourg,â€ â€œWhen I was there, we went a long time without winning a game, just like this one. Strasbourg and Newcastle are very different. Strasbourg was only a little club, while Newcastle is a big club. We should not be where we are in the table.â€

â€œNewcastle should be in the top five. When I left Strasbourg, I never thought I would be in a situation like that again, especially after joining such a big club as Newcastle.â€

â€œEverybody needs to give their best for the club,â€ â€œMy own confidence is okay but it would be even better if we won a game. Birmingham is a massive game.â€

â€œI would say that because of everything that has happened, it is our biggest game of the season. It is the most important because we are in the same position as them. I would not have thought that a few weeks ago.â€

Habib Beye has been joined by Senegal team mate Lamine Diatta until the end of the season, and Habib was asked what he thinks Lamine can offer to the team:

â€œHe is a good player who plays center-back and right-back as well,â€

“He is captain of Senegal, he has a lot of experience and won two championships with Lyon. I think it is a good addition to the squad.â€

Good words form Habib who was voted on our site as the best Big Sam summer buy by 56% of voters. Second place went to Senegal team mate Abdoulaye Faye with 23% of the vote. Given those facts Lamine Diatta, captain of Senegal, has a good chance of being a good player for us this season – but Kevin must play him once he’s match fit.

Kevin seems to be getting into a bad habit of playing the same players week in week out, who continue to let him down, the club down, and themselves down, with their gutless performances.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
